 Contest which took place May 12-14, 2016 at the Memphis in May

William Tischina, an employee at Savory Spice's Houston location,
is also a member of the Pitmaker team. "Now everyone stopping by
 the store wants to buy the Malibar Cracked Pepper because that's
 what we used on the winning brisket," Tischina said. In Texas,
 salt and pepper are the primary spices used on brisket, and Pitmaker'
s win shows just how important it is to use top quality ingredients if
 you're looking for award-winning quality results.
On their 2^nd place ribs, the team used Savory Spice's Team Sweet
 Mama's KC Style Rub along with their own mixture of other additional
 spices.  For their entry in the poultry category, Pitmaker's team
 turned to a Savory Spice original recipe: Chicken Cordon Peru with Poblano Chile Sauce.

In 2015, Savory Spice co-owner Mike Johnston took a road trip of
 a lifetime, visiting 88 barbec
ue joints across the country in 43 days. During this Chasing BBQ
journey, Johnston also visited Pitmaker in Houston. "We've worked
 hard to make sure our spices, blends and recipes are top quality,"
 Johnston said. "I've always been passionate about great barbecue,
 so the fact that our products and recipes helped the Pitmaker team
win big at this world class competition is a real honor."
